First of all, it seems that the space used in this web looks balance due to the position of the rows and columns of the objects placed in it. Another factor to be analyzed are the lines of this blog because they seem to be stable which allows the eyes going in different directions. Some of the lines can be calming and that makes the audience feel secure due to the stability of the lines. In addition, the shape of most of the objects seem to have geometric properties such as rectangles placed in vertical and horizontal positions. For instance, some of the shapes applied to fonts look hard to move and some others strong yet thin. Moreover, its tones make one feel somehow relax because permits to focus on the lighting objects. Furthermore, the color used is well mixed because it gives the meaning that the blog was set up for educational purposes. As far as movement, there is not much action in the blog, except for the video tutorials posted in the content of it. Finally, the blog doesn't' have major rhythms because its content wasn't set up for to be musical; however, the sound can be listened in Dr Beam's video tutorials.
This could be a good place to go for modeling on your website project. It isn't exactly a public service announcement like the others we looked at in class, but you're describing a lot of the features we'd want in these sites. Specifically, it's easily navigable, the content is clear, and it encourages you to act certain ways (since you were in the class, you were probably predisposed to doing the actions, but we can try to imagine ways of putting our audience in that kind of mindset). You may even be able to borrow some of the architecture ideas in terms of splitting up your content between different pages.
